Just wondering whethere there is any consensus on what are some of the best music materials that can demo the performance of the ALS to its full capability. Especially materials that would make the ALS shine better than its natural competitions?

The album "The Wall" by Pink Floyd. Most anything by Alison Krause or Diana Krall. "The Royal Scam" by Steely Dan. "Chain Reaction" by the Crusaders. "Hypntized" from the Pointer Sisters Energy album, and one Radioengineer put on his Fest CD from last year, "Body Language" by Queen.

How long a minute is, depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on.

I've a couple of Diana Krall album in DVD Audio 96/24 which I've tried. I agree that they are a joy to listen to, especially compare to what I used to hear from my old speakers before the ALS.I'll check to see whether I have some of your other suggestion at home this wk end.

Multiple votes for both Alison Krause and Pink Floyd already, looks like I must get some of those.

BTW, Beemers and TNRabbit what do you guys mean by these materials would test and hurt the ribbons? Reason for asking is my left ribbon is kind of half broken when I got these ALSs, so I've temporally fixed it with some 3M Al EMI shielding tape with conductive adhesive backing.

anything with the spoken human voice. the sibilants will cause a bad ribbon to make a gawd awful noise. Fran Drescher gives 'em fits.

Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
